In this study, the interplay between gut microbiota and retinol metabolism in modulating fat accumulation was verified. We observed gut microbiota depletion reduced the body weight and the ratios of white adipose tissues (WATs) to body weight in high-fat diet (HFD) fed-mice. The kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of RNA-seq results indicated that retinol metabolism signaling may be involved in the microbiota-regulated fat deposition. Furthermore, activated retinol metabolism signaling by all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) supplementation reduced body weight and WAT accumulation in obese mice. 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the ileal microbiota suggested that atRA supplementation increased the microbial diversity and induced the growth of beneficial bacteria including Parabacteroides, Bacteroides, Clostridium_XVIII, Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, Bacillus, Leuconostoc, and Lactobacillus in obese mice. Spearman correlation showed that the microbiota altered by atRA were associated with body and WAT weights. Together, this study reveals the interaction between the gut microbiota and retinol metabolism signaling in regulating adipose accumulation and obesity. It is expected of this finding to provide new insights to prevent and develop therapeutic measures of obesity-related metabolic syndrome.
